Operation
The alarm activates in the following cases:
1. Wrongful opening of one of the doors or the decklid(perimeter protection)
2. Wrongful operation of the ignition switch (key turned to MAR [ON/RUN];
3. Cutting of the battery leads
4. Anomalous lifting/tilting of the car
Operation of the alarm is indicated by an acoustic and
visual signal (flashing of the front and rear turn signals
for several seconds). The alarm activation modes may
vary according to the market. There is a maximum
number of acoustic/visual cycles. When this is reached
the system returns to normal operation.
NOTE:
• The engine locking function is guaranteed by the Alfa
Romeo CODE, which is automatically activated
when the key is extracted from the ignition switch.
• The alarm is adapted to meet requirements in various
countries.To Arm The System
With the doors and decklid closed and the ignition key
either turned to STOP (OFF/LOCK) or removed, point
the key towards the vehicle then push and release the
lock button.
The system emits a visual signal and activates door
locking.
A self-diagnosis stage lasting approximately 30 seconds
precedes the activation of the alarm. During the self-
diagnosis, the vehicle security light flashes in the instru-
ment panel at a frequency of about one flash per second.
After the self-diagnosis stage, the vehicle security light
flashes at a lower frequency (approximately one flash
every three seconds).
If, after the alarm is switched on, a second visual signal
emit via the vehicle security light in the instrument
panel, wait about four seconds and switch off the alarm
by pushing the lock button, check that the doors and
decklid are closed correctly and then reactivate the
system by pushing the unlock button.
If the alarm emits a visual signal even when the doors
and decklid are closed correctly, a system malfunction
has occurred: in this case, contact an authorized dealer.
